God forgive me for showcasing LBC but this is such an easy dismantling of the nonsense position of idiots who have been booing the players. All it takes is a slight pushing back on any of the nonsense defense that they have to expose how insulting all of this silly shit is.

The only reason that this has even become an "argument" is because media members invented pseudo-intellectual positions after the fact to justify the booing because they can't handle possibly saying that the fans are being stupid
Do you even know how fucking stupid it is that "they're concerned about marxism" and "it's about economic anxiety" or "BLM is about violence" really is? It's the type of defenses that should get laughed at, but are instead taken seriously, because you can't say the obvious thing
I think the kneeling is nonsense because the institutions behind the players have no interest in anti-racism. The FA has demonstrated that. But it's still a demonstration that is meaningful to those doing it. Yet, no explanation of the action has been enough for the booing fans.
So this entire charade. This ballet of morons has all been because the people who get to set discussions have to justify the myth of English fandom and society that they have in their heads, and will pretend to not see and hear what's in front of them, for that goal. It's silly.
